A 1923 Craftsman jewel box in the heart of Lavaca, thoughtfully restored from top to bottom while preserving the architectural character that makes these homes so special. Original pine floors have been beautifully refinished, original built-ins remain in the dining room, the historic kitchen brick chimney has been restored, and the home's original exterior details were carefully preserved. Inside, 1,698 square feet has been reimagined for the way you actually want to live today. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 completely updated bathrooms, a sunroom/office, dedicated laundry room, and a stunning custom kitchen centered around a large island. New tile, restored antique light fixtures, and carefully selected finishes complement the home's 1920s character rather than competing with it. And while the charm is nearly impossible to recreate, the systems behind it are new. Improvements include a new concrete pier foundation, standing seam metal roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, sewer line, water line, gas lines, tankless gas water heater, insulation, and seven new all-wood double-pane windows. The renovation was permitted through the City of San Antonio, approved by OHP, and all permits have been passed and closed. Outside, the approximately 7,200-square-foot lot offers a surprisingly large backyard with room to create the outdoor space you want, whether that's a pool, deck, play area, garden, or combination of all four. A 256-square-foot detached storage building adds even more flexibility, while the covered front porch gives you 81 square feet of classic Craftsman curb appeal. And then there is the location. Tucked into highly desirable Lavaca on a quiet, walkable street, 318 Devine puts some of Southtown and downtown San Antonio's best restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and neighborhood favorites within an easy walk. Stroll to McIntyre's Southtown, The Haven, Petit Coquin, Bliss, Extra Fine, Mixtli, Bar Loretta, Southtown 101, Nothing I Can't Handle Coffee, or head to the River Walk for a morning run, evening walk, dinner, or drinks. Nearly a century of character, restored instead of replaced, with the major updates already done and one of San Antonio's most walkable neighborhoods right outside your front door.
